Abstract

The large number of environmental factors that can affect human health is indicative of the complexity of existing interactions and range of actions needed to improve the environmental determinants of health factors, which may be social, economic and environmental variables. Given this context, this study analyzes the status of performance in relation to environmental health of municipalities of the Region of Rio Taperoá, PB. The methodological procedures used in this work consisted of a desk and exploratory research, which made the use of multicritério analysis (PROMETHEE Method II). The overall picture obtained from municipalities confirms the weaknesses that each public entity presents for the management of environmental health and its alleged consequences, pointing out the supposed barriers related to social, economic and environmental issues that relate implicitly or explicitly with this type of management.
